Abstract Acquiring accurate wind erosion amount is very important in the studies of wind erosion in the production and construction projects. It is helpful for the compilation of soil and water conservation schemes and for the prevention of soil and water loss. The studies on monitoring methods and prediction models, however, are still not enough. In some existent studies, it needs to think more about the suitability of monitoring methods and the accuracy of factors in different models. In order to provide production and construction projects with useful supports, this paper hence summarized monitoring methods and prediction models, which are applied widely in wind erosion. According to the respective characteristics of these methods and models, the suitability of them in production and construction projects has been analyzed. Based on this, methods such as erosion pins, investigation, scanning, traps,soil samplers, radionuclides, and models include Pasak and wind erosion loss prediction are recommended to measure or estimate the amount of wind erosion in various projects. Finally, the development directions of relative studies have been pointed out.
